OpenTracker 1.7.0 fails to launch on Windows 10 x64 #68

Closed LegendaryLinux closed 3 years ago

LegendaryLinux commented 3 years ago

OpenTracker 1.7.0 silently fails on Windows 10 x64.

When attempting to launch OpenTracker via OpenTracker.exe from its installation directory, no error message appears. The process does not appear in the task manager, nor does it appear in the detailed view of processes.

I have attached a zip of the Windows Event log for the errors here: opentracker-errors.zip

I'm not in a place to check the attached logs yet. I'll do so later tonight. I've found that the MSI installer will cause a corrupted installation in some cases, but I've never really narrowed down how or why. Can you try uninstalling, deleting the C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenTracker folder, and reinstalling and see if that fixes the issue?

LegendaryLinux commented 3 years ago

Uninstalling, deleting the remaining program files, then re-installing did resolve the issue.

Is it possible there is an updated library file not being installed?

It isn't consistent. I've done the exact same steps to upgrade to and from various versions and sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesn't. It's one of the reasons that I'm considering dropping the MSI packager I'm currently using in favor of another packaging method.
